A perfect venue that doesn’t require any further decorating!

The Bloedel Conservatory was the most perfect and intimate way to have our ceremony. Not only were staff very communicative and timely with answering questions, but the venue itself is perfect for any couple looking for a unique and memorable event space.
We invited our guests to come in before the ceremony and it set the mood for an adventurous night. Everything from the tropical plants, lighting and birds at the venue were stunning and that’s without us doing any setup or decorating! So anyone looking for a venue that is in itself a showstopper, this is the place!

Small wedding ceremony

We had a great time hosting our small wedding ceremony at Bloedel. It was exactly as we envisioned it: warm, lots of light, beautiful flowers and birds. The staff was very professional, responsive and made us feel special on the day.

It's a great venue for a small, private wedding. We definitely recommend!

Bloedel Conservatory was magical!!

Getting married at the Bloedel Conservatory was honestly magical. I felt like a princess surrounded by all the beautiful plants and birds. During the ceremony, the birds were chirping and moving around as if they were celebrating with us, it made everything feel so joyful and special.

It was the perfect place for a small, meaningful wedding. Our photographer also took some amazing photos there, the setting is just stunning. I’m so happy we chose this spot for our civil ceremony. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.

April 2025 spring wedding

We rented the Bloedel Conservatory from 6:15-8:15 in April 2025 as per their operating hours during this time of year. We secured the date and time in 2024 and were able to pay the 2024 rate. The conservatory was such an unique venue and we loved being able to also give our guests the opportunity to explore the conservatory on their own prior to the ceremony. 2 hours flies by so if you feel like you would like more time in the conservatory there is an option to pay an additional fee to extend your reservation time, but not before as the conservatory is still open to the public. The pathways have been newly renovated, we also had live music which sounded so beautiful with the tropical sounds of birds in the conservatory. I would completely recommend this unique venue for an intimate wedding ceremony!

An Unforgettable Wedding at Bloedel Conservatory

We recently had our wedding at the Bloedel Conservatory, and it was truly an incredible experience! We wanted a simple yet beautiful venue, and this place exceeded all our expectations. The lush greenery, warm atmosphere, and vibrant birds made for a stunning and intimate setting.

The staff were fantastic—friendly, accommodating, and eager to make our day special. They even provided additional lighting to enhance the gorgeous flora and went out of their way to introduce us to some of the beautiful birds, including a cockatoo that made for amazing photos!

Our guests were just as enchanted as we were. Many commented on how every photo looked stunning simply because every backdrop was filled with tropical plants and colorful birds. The fact that our group had the entire conservatory to ourselves made the moment feel even more special.

And on top of everything, the price was unbeatable. If you're looking for a unique, affordable, and breathtaking venue for a wedding or special event, I cannot recommend Bloedel Conservatory enough. Our wedding was perfect, and this venue played a huge part in making it so.

Thank you to the amazing team at Bloedel for giving us such a memorable day!

October wedding ceremony

We had our ceremony at the end of October in the conservatory and it was amazing! Our guests loved coming a little early and getting to see the birds and plants and it was a beautiful spot for pictures. Because of the time of year and when the sun set the conservatory did get darker than we expected. But it had a really cool ambiance and made the ceremony feel more intimate.

Amazing Location & Staff for our Wedding Ceremony!


We were absolutely delighted with our experience. The team was incredibly responsive and transparent, making everything straightforward. We felt completely at ease, and everything went smoothly, contributing to our wonderful wedding experience. The location was perfect for both the ceremony and wedding photos, and our guests praised it as well.

We wanted to stick to our budget, and Bloedel made that possible while still providing a stunning venue. We are immensely grateful for that. Plus, it’s a place we can always return to and cherish the memories of our special day.

Wedding 2024

We had been to the conservatory a few times previously and loved it, so we were extremely excited to see they offer the space as a wedding venue! It was definitely affordable compared to other places and it was just perfect. You don't even need to bring your own decor because the beautiful flowers and foliage are your decorations! The staff were incredibly attentive and responsive when communicating. So friendly and welcoming as well! One gentleman greeted us with a cockatiel on his arm!
Birds were flying around us and we were even graced with a loud screetch from the African grey parrot!

Such a great experience to be able to wander inside the conservatory when it's closed to the public. Such a beautiful place and it made for absolutely lovely memories! Definitely recommend this venue to others

Beautiful Venue!

What a beautiful venue! You feel like you’re in a tropical destination right in Vancouver.

The venue is perfect as it is with all the plants and trees as decor.

Our communications with the venue was vert smooth and easy along the way, the staff that were working the evening of our wedding were genuinely nice and friendly and you could not beat the price.

(We knew going into this that there was a certain # of people that could attend and that the venue is only available during specific timeframes when the conservatory is closed, so while the flexibility may not be 5 stars I still think this venue deserves 5 stars all around!)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
